For Most, Cycling is Safe for Sexual Health
Cycling is a terrific way to get around town and stay in shape. But is it safe for sexual health?

But new research might put some of these fears to rest. A recent study found that female cyclists were no more likely to have sexual or urinary problems than female runners or swimmers.
However, urinary tract infections, genital numbness, and saddle sores were more common among the cyclists.
While this may be good news, it's still important to cycle smart. Our latest blog post discusses cycling and sex health for both men and women.
